If you consider yourself a 'transumer' I just stumbled over something interesting, fascinating and, at least to me, quite peculiar. It's called Sentemental and offers to those averse to ownership a smart way of getting rid of all paper-based mementos that are currently accumulating dust in some long forgotten folder or box.
Through Sentemental, consumers can upload all the kids' drawings, Christmas cards, photographs, personal notes and other mementos they've collected over the years for preservation and sharing online.Users of Sentemental begin by signing up with the site and uploading whatever materials they want to preserve; any they can't digitize themselves can be sent to Sentemental, which will do it for them. Uploaded materials are then kept safe in a private area of the site that's easily accessible to the user. Materials can also be shared with friends and posted via Facebook and Twitter.
So welcome to a service that only can flourish in an oversharing society like the one we have today. One that is increasingly detached and transfers all possible material and non material goods to "the" cloud. As I said in the beginning: a peculiar thing, especially if you start pondering the implications.
